Days of our Lives: The True Story of One Family's Dream and the Untold History of Days of our Lives
Search in google:
On a November day almost forty-five years ago, the first episode of Days of our Lives appeared on the NBC Network, NBC's first color soap opera broadcast. DaysTalk I thoroughly enjoyed this autobiography by the executive producer of Days of our Lives. I think for all of us hardcore enough to be involved in this blog, whether you are a regular writer, commenter or reader, it makes sense to get this back story. I definitely learned a lot about the show, the actors and the Corday family.
